Opportunity Is In Everything

Albert Einstein said, "In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity." Winston Churchill said, "The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." There is a great truth in these words.

Everything we go through in life contains a learning experience. The trick is taking hold of those experiences, recognizing them, and internalizing them. Life's lessons, whether good or bad, are our greatest opportunities because we grow from them. They shape us and mold us into the people we are or the people we want to be.

So,when adversity and trials arise, instead of saying, "Why did this have to happen to me," think, "This happened, now what am I going to do with it?"Whenever people ask me if I would change things in my life if I could go back, I say no. Why would I? I would never want to miss the opportunities that came from the trials or miss the lessons learned.
